Survival medicine for survival preparedness is about planning how to handle medical or health emergencies in the absence of medical professionals. This includes basic and advanced first aid, homeopathic remedies, medicinal plants and acquiring the education necessary to use them.

When considering basic first aid you can look at the small first aid kits available for a buck at the dollar store. These are compact, contain a couple of Bandaids, alcohol wipes and not much else; these are perfect for tucking into a survival fanny pack.

A more extensive disaster medical kit can be created yourself, by stocking it with a wide variety of first aid and medical supplies. A little ingenuity can help you create a well-stocked medical case that could be invaluable in a survival emergency.

If you don’t want to create your own medical kit there are a number of different emergency medical kits you can purchase. Again these kits will range from basic first aid to emergency kits so well stocked that they are like an EMT in a bag. In fact if your survival group includes someone with medical training will find these more extensive kits the perfect assistant for survival medicine.

Some of the best homeopathic remedies that I recommend you have as part of your survival medicine kit are colloidal silver and several essential oils. Colloidal silver can be made using rechargeable 9V batteries and distilled water and is an antiseptic, anti-bacterial, anti-parasitic and anti-viral. For essential oils I have lavender for sinus, itches or stress, eucalyptus for congestion, peppermint for tummy upsets and as a bee repellant.

Better to be trained and never need it that training, than to need it and have no idea what to do!

The knowledge of medicinal plants that you should acquire will depend on where you live. Not only will that knowledge help you find plants necessary for survival medicine, but many of those plants are also edible. Make sure you get a book with colored photos and details about how to prepare and use those medicinal plants.

Survival Medicine Topics

Whether at home or heading into the wilderness make sure you have a at least a first aid kit. However, if you're planning for a survival situation, make sure you have the best medicial equipment possible as well as a thorough knowledge of medicinal plants.

In the event of a pandemic you will need knowledge, preventative equipment and the ability to create a possible cure.
